Summer: Soup to Nuts Edition

soup to nuts slang. 1. From beginning to end; 2. To include or cover everything, as in a multicourse meal; e.g. The lecture on basketweaving covered everything from soup to nuts.


So here's the soup to nuts of what I did this Summer:

1. I heard the expression "soup to nuts" for the first time in my life.

2. Worked as a student lawyer for "indigent" people.


3. Visited the Bay Area.


4. Said goodbye (or rather syonara) to the Shorts as they moved to Japan.


5. Said goodbye to the Georges as they moved to the Bay Area.


6. Got a short visit from mom-in-law.


7. Did NOT go to the biggest casino on the East Coast, did NOT play craps and blackjack there, and did NOT double my money. (Woohoo!)


8. Another goodbye! This one's going to Southern California.


9. Tooled around Cambridge with Brother and Connie.


10. Played the quintessential Boston commons sport: frisbee.


11. Did a 1500 piece puzzle.


We finished!


12. Played all kinds of board games, like this one, Bang! This was a fun western-themed game in which there are Sheriffs, Outlaws, and Renegades. While playing this I kept hearing this song in my head, "I shot the sheriff...but I didn't shoot the deputy."

Th-th-that's all folks!

Well your Summer sounds remotely similar to mine. Here's mine from soup to nuts:
I had my heart ripped out and torn into 1500 pieces, said goodbyes over and over. Especially to my sanity.
Put the pieces back together in the wrong order.
Ate crow every day with soup for a starter and finished by going nuts.
(Way better than last summer!)
